DZ flying time

[Tony Stillman]

Ed:
You must be either very rich, or running a full power most all the time!  I
can fly through the FAI sequence and land with about 3-4 oz of fuel, and I'm
using a 16 oz tank!

I'm using the Cool Power 30% Heli blend and a 16.5 x 12W prop.  I would
suggest that you check you needle position, as your fuel consumption rate is
way too high!
